I have an Infopath form in Sharepoint which is accessed by x amount of users
without any problems.

There is one machine which gives an Access Denied error everytime any
Infopath form is opened. This happens for every user on this machine, and if
the machine's owner accesses the form from another machine there is no
problem. We have recently reimaged the machine but the problem still persists.

The exact error message is:
Form template: file///.....xsn
InfoPath cannot open the selected form. There was an error while loading the
XML Schema...
Access Denied.

Is there a setting within his local Infopath that would give this error? Any
insights would be appreciated. This is stumping a few of us.

thanks,

Bonjour John,

Is it a fully trusted form? How was it deployed on the target machines? msi?
Have you tried to uninstal the form and clean the machine registry from any
traces of the form before reinstalling?

Hi Franck,

Thanks for responding.

It is not a fully trusted form. It is domain level access as it connects to
Sharepoint lists. It is deployed through the Sharepoint Forms Library. The
problem is not restricted to one form though, all infopath forms that this
machine tried to open causes this Access Denied error.

Is cleaning the registry still relevant? Does anything get written to the
registry with non fully trusted forms? Also can it be a cache problem? Is
there a way to clear the cache?

Nope, won't help then. Are you running XP SP2 on that machine? Did you look
into the firewall settings?

i've face the same problem when i put the template links for the user to fill
in forms, there's something missing unlike what we did usually using "Fill
out this form" at the form library.

i've found a work around hope can solve your problem(from
http://www.wssdemo.com/StaffPurchase/default.aspx) .

----------------------------------------------------------
How did I create this link?
Add a Content Editor web part and paste this code into the Source Editor

<script src="/_layouts/1033/ows.js"></script>
<script>
function WPQ3createNewDocument()
{
var strTemplate =
"http://www.wssdemo.com/StaffPurchase/Orders/Forms/template.xsn";
var strSaveLocation = "http://www.wssdemo.com/StaffPurchase/Orders";
var strProgID = "SharePoint.OpenXMLDocuments";
createNewDocumentWithProgID(escapeProperlyCore(strTemplate, true),
makeAbsUrl(strSaveLocation), strProgID, true);
}
</script>

<a href="" onclick="WPQ3createNewDocument()">Create new order</a>
